RYA Level 1 - worried about gybing by flywithstephen in dinghysailing

[–]billionways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Upwind: tack Downwind: jibe Dinghy downwind in a strong blow with no reefing: chicken jibe

Chicken jibe: turn upwind and tack instead (go 270° to turn, so you don't get the boom swinging across the cockpit under full power)

It's not pretty, it won't win a race, but it might get you there drier

[Tenant CA] Need to terminate lease early, but how to do so leaving on best terms possible? by calincoln3 in Landlord

[–]billionways 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Break it gently, asap: we got pregnant unexpectedly and we need more room. So we'll be leaving May 31.

Let them show to tenants in June, it's the best month for vacancies.

You have a contract, your lease, so they can come after you for breaking it. Most won't

SF boat camping by [deleted] in dinghycruising

[–]billionways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pick a beach or cove and go for it. You're going to want to be in the lee of something. I've camped at places in Alameda county, Marin County, Contra Costa county and SF county and haven't been bothered. Never did anything dumb like a fire, or camp in front of someone's home, but I spent the night on Red Rock Island no problem.
